Hooray for a Half Marthon!
Half Marathons are the fastest growing race distance around. 13.1 mile races are popping up on race calendars like petunias in the Spring. So when we created a race series that progresses perfectly to train for the 13.1 distance, we had to add it. As of this week, we are so happy to announce that we are adding a half marathon distance as the fourth event in our race series.
We know you are anxious to learn more so here are all the details.

Therefore, runners are advised to take all their electrolyte and gel needs with them on the course. Nuun will be provided at the start/finish area and any runners needing electrolytes on the course are advised to fill a water bottle before the race begins and carry it with them during the event.
